Sometimes when killing X ist is not automatically restarted on my systems, |
| 11 |
maybe you need to run /etc/init.d/xdm restart from a text console to make |
| 12 |
this work. |
| 13 |
Instead of Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, I would use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to go directly to a |
| 14 |
text console. There I would have a look at the at the last lines |
| 15 |
of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of "top", maybe this shows |
| 16 |
something like a nspluginviewer process gone wild which you can kill. |
| 17 |
Also try to kill firefox, will X work fine again then? Use Ctrl-Alt-F7 to |
| 18 |
go back to the X screen. |

Do other sound applications work, does "ls > /dev/sound/dsp" work and |
| 24 |
produce a sound? |
